    Default Unknown Eggs (oto or cardinals?)

    I saw these this morning and I think they belong to my otos. I only have two in there, I guess one of them is a female, not sure how to tell though...Well in the center of the picture you can see the eggs on top of the leaf. What should I do next?

    They very well could be snail eggs, looks like the same one in my tank. Could definitely use a better pic here

    just in case it is the oto's, here's a couple useful links;

    Jelly clusters are snails eggs.

    If you see one cluster, just be cognizant that there could be a few more you can't see. If snails become a problem in the future, pick up a few assassin snails which eat other snails.

    If there aren't any snails left after the assassin snails eat them. What else will they eat? I don't want assassin snails to die after they serve their duty haha.
